Frank Herbert Quotes

I’m not mad. I’m in a perfectly happy mood, you asshole.

Anger is a valid emotion. It's only bad when it takes control and makes you do things you don't want to do.

By nature, most people are controlled by their emotions. They feel sad, so they look sad.

I have a pretty bad temper. But you have to really push me to see it. But everybody has their things.

Anger can be a problem, but it has tremendous potential, too. It's just figuring out what to do with it.

I have to say that anger is the blanket that comes around me, and that blunts and blurs my sense of proportion.

I think anger is a good thing.

You see all the movies where people say, 'Don't fight out of anger'? They say that for a reason.

I think that idea that sort of our emotional self and our emotional life is a faucet that you turn on and off, and that we are in control of it entirely, that's a really appealing idea for a lot of people. But there are certainly the times where it's appealing to me, but it never quite works the way I hoped it would.

The one thing that always sucks about me is that I'm just a fighter, and I just love to fight.

I feel like we sometimes let our emotions and anger get in the way.

Fighting angry and fighting mad isn't good.

The easiest and most accessible emotion is rage.

Letting an emotion move through you is healthy. Letting an emotion define you is not.

Rage was sometimes a useful ally in the heat of a fight, but it was a trickster. It made everything seem possible.

Anger is just anger. It isn't good. It isn't bad. It just is. What you do with it is what matters. It's like anything else. You can use it to build or to destroy. You just have to make the choice.

Just remember, anger is always your enemy. You must keep your emotions in check. The moment you lose control of them, you lose the fight every time. (Takeshi)

Even though sometimes you can control your anger, you can't control your sadness.

For myself music definitely informs my emotions. And I can literally play a song that will get me where I need to be emotionally. I don't have to think about the tragic things that happened in my life or the greatest things that happened in my life.

A lot of women do a lot of harm because they don't control their emotions. But in terms of violence, men seem to have a monopoly

Hate is a fear, and fear is rot That cankers root and fruit alike, Fight cleanly then, hate not, fear not, Strike with no madness when you strike.

Anger is stupid, and stupidity will kill you more surely than your opponent's blade.

To be in anger is impiety, but who is man that is not angry?

The brain may devise laws for the blood, but a hot temper leaps o'er a cold decree.

Anger is practical awkwardness.
